Let's not confuse ourselves here. The opposite of one evil is not necessarily a good. Police reviewing their own footage, investigating themselves: bad. Unreliable AI beholden to corporate interests and shareholders: also bad.

It's fine to not understand what "AI" is and how it works, but you should avoid making statements that highlight that lack of understanding.

If you feel one's knowledge is lacking then explaining it may convince them, or others reading your post.

Speaking of a broad category of useful technologies as inherently bad is a dead giveaway that someone doesn't know what they're talking about.
